What is barbaric is that some people do not understand the balance of nature in this part of the world. Nor, apparently in their own. If they did, they would understand that Newfies need to fish to survive. In order to fish, there must be fish. If the seals eat the fish THE WAY THAT SEALS EAT FISH (one bite and on to the next in shallow water during spawning season), then there ain't gonna be fish to eat.

Now... all you veggies should be happy. Because, once the Newfs start having to harvest seals to eat to survive after the seals get fat on the fish, then, there will be lots of seal dregs to make fertilizer with to grow your veggies.

Barbaric? Fuck off. Irrational? Right back at ya.
